On the battlefield, anything can happen. It is said that bullets don't have long eyes, and cannonballs are naturally the same. Perhaps He Zhengdao would not have imagined that during the previous shelling, a shell fell into the temporary residence of Seitaro Yamamura in a long eye.

Even the guards who were in charge of protecting him were very conscientious, and the whole person pounced. But the division commander, who was a little depressed, was inevitably hit in the abdomen by a flying piece of shrapnel in the end.

Looking at the part where the shrapnel was inserted, the military doctor who was summoned quickly came over with a medical kit. It's just that seeing such a wound, the medical staff knows very well that the division commander is afraid that he will not be saved.

Even the shrapnel inserted in the abdomen, the medical staff did not dare to dial it. Because if you dial it, it is estimated that the division commander will die faster. In the case of not being able to carry out surgery in time, Seitaro Yamamura can be said to be dead.

Looking at the situation that the medical soldiers didn't know what to do, Seitaro Yamamura, who was not in a coma, seemed to feel that his life was short. Looking at the chief of staff of the division and regiment around him, his mood seemed very calm.

waved his hand and said, "Forget it!" This may be my life, and it is my honor to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. What's going on now? Is the Eighth Route Army attacking our perimeter defensive positions? ”

'Yes, General! Don't talk anymore, we'll save you. ’

'Nakamura-kun! Don't comfort me anymore, you all go and treat the other wounded who need treatment! By the way, what about the brigade commander? If you can, call him over, I have something to say to him! ’

Sending away the medical soldiers who were at a loss, Yamamura Seitaro saw that the people who were not around saw Shuzo, and he knew how much that the commander of the Major General's Brigade was organizing troops to block it!

Nakamura Muichi, chief of staff of the division, also felt very uncomfortable when he heard what Seitaro Yamamura said a little hoarsely. As the chief of staff of the division, Nakamura Muichi knew very well that even if he succeeded in breaking through this time, Seitaro Yamamura would not end well.

can be the commander of the lieutenant general's division, as long as he can lead the troops to break through alive, even if there are not many troops breaking through, I believe that Seitaro Yamamura can at least live. But now, he was only afraid that he would die in a foreign land.

Speaking of which, this should be the second lieutenant general division commander to die in the hands of an independent column in the Japanese army!

'Division commander, I've already sent someone to find someone to see the brigade commander!' Please hold on! ’

On the other hand, the people in the camp at this moment saw Xiusan and personally commanded his subordinates to clean up the mess in the camp. The previous heavy artillery attack on them had turned this camp, which was supposed to be peaceful, into bloody, with scattered corpses everywhere.

When the guards sent by Nakamura Muichi found him, and when he heard what the guard officer said, he was also stunned when he saw Shuzo: "What? You say that the division commander was hit in the abdomen by a shell? So why not let the medical officer go to the treatment? Does it work to find me? ”

'General, the medic has already seen it. It's just the situation of the division commander, I'm afraid that it can't be treated. That piece of shrapnel was too big, and if it was pulled out on the spot, I was afraid that the division commander would bleed to death. General Nakamura, let you hurry up! ’

'Yaga! How could things have come to this! ’

The people who were so painful and crazy that they wanted to kill saw Shuzo, looking at the soldiers who were already in a state of collapse, and they also felt that they didn't know what to say. After all, in the entire military camp now, everyone probably wants to kill to vent their anger!

After handing over the mess to a captain of the Osaku Wing, Higami Shuzo soon came to the scene of the injury that was protected. Looking at Seitaro Yamamura, who was still sitting on the ground, his abdomen was already soaked with blood.

'General, I'm coming!' ’

Seitaro Yamamura, whose expression looked much paler, rarely showed a smile and said, "See-kun, how is the situation now?" Will our troops still be able to withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army? ”

'Commander, the front line is still fighting, and our warriors are resisting bravely. As long as you hold out until dawn, I believe that the attack of the Eighth Route Army will retreat. You must hold on, and we will be saved when the morning dawns! ’

Similar words of comfort, Yamamura Kiyotaro shook his head and said, "Thank you for your comfort, but I'm afraid I won't see the sunrise tomorrow." I came to you to convey a final instruction in the name of the division commander.

Now Nakamura-kun is here, and he can prove it for you when the time comes. This is not my mandatory, just a directive of mine. In the end, it depends on how you choose. But I hope you can all live.

Ever since we started our campaign to occupy China last year, I have come to feel that the power of the empire is being weakened. The country is too vast, and our plan to fully occupy China is a bit too hasty.

Although these words came out, it was somewhat embarrassing for the imperial soldiers. But at this point, I feel like there are some things that should be said. At the very least, I hope that the officers and men of our division and regiment will be able to return to China in the future to reunite with their families.

Therefore, my final instruction to the Emperor is that in the event that there is no hope of breaking through, I will allow you to surrender to the Eighth Route Army. All the responsibility is borne by me alone. We've worked hard until now. ”

'General! How did you suddenly make such a decision? ’

Hearing Yamamura Kiyotaro's words, the many generals and adjutants surrounding him were somewhat surprised. In their opinion, surrendering to the Eighth Route Army, isn't that something more uncomfortable than death?

Looking at the surprised eyes of these generals and adjutants, Yamamura Kiyotaro knew very well that if he said it in normal times, it was estimated that he would be opposed by all the officers. After all, the Japanese army has always considered themselves invincible!

Faced with the incomprehension of many officers, Yamamura Seitaro didn't pay much attention to their surprise, and said with a little drifting in his eyes: "Surrender is undoubtedly a very shameful thing for the soldiers of the empire, and no one will want to be a surrendered soldier."

It's just that in less than a year, how many soldiers have we broken in China? Although the empire is expanding its forces, including our Kwantung Army, it is also seizing the time to expand its army. But how much combat effectiveness do these newly expanded troops have?

In the case of our division, we had nearly 30,000 well-trained elite troops before we set out. But now, how many elite officers and soldiers are left in our entire division? Even if the breakthrough is successful, when will our division and regiment regain its combat effectiveness?

You are all excellent soldiers of the Empire, and you should have a more advanced strategic vision than soldiers. The country we want to occupy is overpopulated. Even if they lose more than us, but they lose up, and what about us?

Now that the Empire is undergoing a new round of conscription, many of us women are going into the factories to let those young people who were originally in the factories join the army. Only in this way can we guarantee our security control over the occupied territories.

It's just that the empire's heart is too big, and it has not yet digested the current occupied areas, and it has begun to think about entering Asian countries again, and even began to make enemies with European and American powers. Without this external support, how long can we hold out?

Many of us were fascinated by the short-term advantage in front of us, and many of our soldiers were carried away by the exploits of opening up the land for the empire. But we all forgot that our population is too small, and how many are there in China?

Never mind! Maybe I shouldn't say that, but I just hope that one day, you will be able to return home alive to reunite with your loved ones. At least for this day, I'm afraid I'll never see it again. Sakurako, I'm coming for you! ”

A seemingly self-talking remark made the officers who were in a state of sadness ponder at the moment. What they didn't even expect was that Seitaro Yamamura, who had said this, stopped breathing with an extremely nostalgic expression.

Anyone who knows Seitaro Yamamura knows that the last 'Sakurako' he spoke of was his wife. When he was dying, he couldn't see his beloved wife for the last time, and everyone understood that Seitaro Yamamura's death was full of regret and nostalgia.

On the other hand, the major generals of the two divisions and regiments, they know more than the other adjutants, and they also know that many of the current military ministers of the empire are extremely arrogant. In the eyes of these military ministers, the whole of Asia and even the world cannot stop them.

At a time when no further progress was being made in the war of aggression against China, the Navy Ministers, who were unwilling to be in the limelight at the War Department, were also agitating for the war to be further expanded. Other Asian colonies occupied by European and American powers were also targeted by them.

Perhaps, as Seitaro Yamamura said, short-lived victories and fanatical militarism have swallowed the sanity of many soldiers. But they all forgot that fighting a war is ultimately about sending troops.

Even the day bowl at this moment has also entered the atmosphere of national preparation. But once such a battle is faced with defeat, the consequences are often very fatal. Maybe this point, Yamamura Seitaro really woke up before he died!

The man who temporarily replaced Kiyotaro Yamamura to take over the 12th Division was not at all happy about the promotion of military power. Even for Hitomi Shuizo, if he had a choice, he didn't want to take over the command of the current division at all.

At the end of the day, it's a mess, a mess that could kill him. Under these circumstances, no one could save the fate of the 12th Division. What he can do may be to delay the time of destruction!

'Collect the body of the division commander! When the right time comes, we will cremate him and bring him back to his wife!" ’

The person who performed a military salute saw Xiusan, and he also couldn't see too many emotional changes on his face. But what he said, in the eyes of many adjutants who heard it, was afraid that the difficulty was not ordinary.

It seems like a very reasonable wish, but in this situation, it is undoubtedly too difficult to do so. At least for many officers who plan to break their ashes, they never thought that the ashes could be sent back to their relatives back home.

Perhaps the only thing they could think of was that after serving the Empire, their heroic spirits would be able to fly across the sea and return to their homeland. But whether this can be done or not, maybe only after they actually die, can they try to experience it! (To be continued.) )
